Topic: Suggestions for NEARFEST II

[kb1gtt]

I'll start with a congrats and good job, now for a suggestion.

Many Ham-fest's have presentations to educate folks about things. I don't recall that kind of activity at this Ham-fest, but would definitely like to attend or perhaps even do a presentation. I've talked with some green hams, they also would find it more interesting if they had something other then the flea market.

If I wanted to volunteer for a presentation how might I go about doing that?

  Great job to all involved. Thanks for preserving a great  hamfest, yet presenting it in a fresh way. Well done. The positives well outweighed the few glitches.
 
   A couple things....

 1) VE session onsite
 2) talks or forums
  I would help with the second one. I am a police dispatcher as well as a ham and would be willing to put something together as to the role that hams play in emergency communications or proper radio usage (I am also our departments dispatch trainer)

 Hats off to all the volunteers and the organizers..Job well done.

Can we get some sort of PayPal account so that it makes it easier for us to prepay for the fall fester?

I would like to help with the planning and preperations for Near-fest 2.
Parking and signage could use some work.
Curtisy transportation would be useful.
Please let me know how I can help.
